The proceeds from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia's first
climate bond support 12 eligible Australian projects, including
renewable energy generation through wind power, energy efficient
buildings and low-carbon transport projects.

The CBA Climate Bond is certified by the Climate Bonds
Initiative (CBI), a not-for-profit organisation which aims to
promote large-scale investment to deliver a global low-carbon
economy.

The CEFC was a cornerstone investor in the $650 million
transaction in March 2017, with a $100 million commitment that
brought its investment in the green bond market to some $325
million and made it one of the largest single investors in this
growing sector. The climate bond is the largest by a non-government
Australian issuer and it matures in February 2022.
